One of the main outcomes of the project is to build provider competency in palliative care by adopting provider algorithms, assessment tools/resources including care pathways and guidelines for qulity palliative care. The SPICT tool has been identified by the Project Management Team as a potential tool that would be helpful to identify people with general indicators of poor or deteriorating health and clinical signs of life-limiting conditions for assessment and care planning. All providers will receive training on how to use this tool (in addition to Edmonton Symptom Assessment System, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Scale, Palliative Performance Scale) to build provider competency in palliative care. Once trained, providers will determine what data will be collected surrounding the implementation of this tool to support the Project and the work of our CPAC partnership.

Locala Community Partnerships provides NHS community services to over 400,000 people in Kirklees, West Yorkshire and beyond. We are a Community Interest Company - an independent, not-for-profit social enterprise. Being a social enterprise means we have the freedom to improve and develop what we do. We deliver NHS services but in a much more coordinated, integrated and community-focused way. The people who are most in touch with people's needs - doctors, nurses and therapists as well as elected members of the public are directly involved in shaping as well as providing our services for patients and families. Locala works with local stakeholders; Kirklees Council, Kirkwood Hospice, Yorkshire Ambulance Service and Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group to plan end-of-life services for the local community.

Locala provides a range of care to adults within the community through nursing, urgent care response, care home support and adult therapy. Clinicians often care for adults living with life-limiting conditions, so future planning and preparation for end-of-life care are key to providing timely, appropriate care.

The value of SPICT™ is well documented, but it is currently used by clinicians as a stand alone application on a mobile phone. Evidence that it has been used to support clinical decision-making is therefore lost within the clinical record.
